"Shameless" is a song by American singer and songwriter Camila Cabello from her second studio album Romance (2019). It was released alongside "Liar" on September 5, 2019, as a double single from the album. Written by Cabello, Ali Tamposi, Andrew Watt, Jon Bellion, Martin Bresso, Jordan Johnson and Stefan Johnson, and produced by Watt and the Monsters and the Strangerz, the song is about Cabello finally facing her feelings about someone she loved.

The music video was directed by Henry Scholfield, and was released on the same day as the single's release on YouTube.
